Cowboys offense has one major concern to correct before Week 1

Overall, the Dallas Cowboys were pleased with their work in joint practices with the L.A. Rams but there's one concern that needs addressing.

The Dallas Cowboys wrapped up their joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams and felt good about their work. The final scrimmage saw several players stand out including Caelen Carson, who might be their biggest steal in the draft this year.

Their run game impressed as well thanks to the offensive line opening up massing holes.

However, the Cowboys need to clean up one area of concern on offense before Week 1. According to Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic, the Rams' pass rush had its way with the Cowboys' offensive tackles.

This shouldn't be a huge surprise at this point. The Cowboys tackles are a work in progress after Tyron Smith left in free agency.

Tyler Guyton has taken his spot but is still learning the ropes as a rookie. On the right side, Terence Steele is coming off his worst season as a pro. There are hopes he will improve but his torn ACL from 2022 seemed to slow him down quite a bit last year.

Still, there's no reason to panic. There's plenty of time to work out the kinks, which is what these practices are for. Once the season starts, however, the Cowboys face a gauntlet of top-tier pass-rushers. So getting it worked out will be of the utmost importance.
